Welcome to the Zollamt in Bingen am Rhein,

Transcription

1 Welcome to the Zollamt in Bingen am Rhein, the place where Steaks are being fired up! You are in the landmarked property of the former ducal main tax office in the vernacular now called the "Zollamt". The completion of the building took place in The ground floor housed the offices of the main tax office and the vault room, while the other floors were used as dwellings for the servants. In 1945 the building was first seized by the Americans, and later on by the French. In May 1950, the Customs Office was back to its ancestral origin and until 2008 was used as an office building. Today after extensive remediation, the former customs office is used as Gastronomy in the heart of the Rhine River and the Hindenburganlage keeping to its roots the 500+ years 'old crane'. For the State Garden Show in 2008, the Rhine river valley has been completely redesigned and given a new shine. Our spacious terrace at Bingen's Cultural riverside offers an unobstructed view of the Niederwald Monument, the Mouse Tower, Castle Ehrenfels and Rüdesheim. On June 27th 2002 this unique cultural landscape was included in the list of world cultural heritage by UNESCO. The highlight of our kitchen is the specially developed steak preparation and imported BBQ oven made by "Southbend" from the USA. The grill heats up to about 800 degrees Celsius where the meat is "shock heated" through the high temperature and open fire. This unique grilling technique creates an incredibly tasty dark crust, under which the meat remains very tender and juicy. The Zollamt offers a great selection of meats, which are relatively unknown in Germany, and we are proud to announce that our Restaurant has been the first in European to serve Japanese Wagyu Beef and will be offering it in our menu shortly. Blending expertise, equipment, technique, and last but not least the most tender selections of meats from Japan, Australia, USA, Ireland and Argentina into our culinary experience, for you to enjoy. We hope you enjoy the silhouette of land, nature and history with us and wish you a pleasurable time in the old customs office in Bingen am Rhein. The team oft the Zollamt restaurant is please to have you as our guests today.
